Political Jottin s ana Election Notes.
The candidates are becoming multi
tudinous and directory Ia now a neces-
sity, rs voters cannot remember all the
names OF the candidates and the differ
ent offices they are running for.
Mack Anderson trots himself out for
recorder, but he is not apt to reach even
the distance pole. In 1884 he absquatu-
lated from the republican party, because
Ii failed to nominate him for recorder,
and he is still on a camp hunt for the
same office.
The mortality among candidates will
be frightful on the 18th OF February.
Political inquests will be numerous and
the verdicts will be suicide.
1t is an enigma how so many men
over-estimate the number OF their
friends. There are candidates that
never had ghost OF a chance Of cleo
ton, who proclaim that they will be
elected, and button hole every voter
they can slip upon, without mercy or
pity.
Last night city official astonished q
small crowd by declaring he would pay
ten dollars for photograph OF one Of
the nominees for alderman at large by
the ola podrids convention, "What do
you prize 1t so highly for" was asked Of
him. II only want to send 1t to Water
loo, Iowa." What does 1t all mean, any
how, is now the question. Did the
aldermanic candidate have his Waterloo
and Butcher?
Belknap, Gallagher, Dan Lewis and
Fritz Sohreiner Will swap the stakes for
alderman at large. They are Of the peo-
pie, and with the people and for the peo-
Pile. Col. Belknap should be the FORE
most nag. He is philosophical, liberal
and benevolent, and, besides. has made
an excellent alderman. San Antonio
would be better Off If she had an hun
dred Col. Belknaps and a hundred less
mossbacks.
A straight out republican ticket, with
out the fusion attachment. would knock
all the breath out Of all tickets.
Chrysler will come in ahead, and An
ton Adam will bring up the rear.
Swapping votes, the day OF election,
will be tried on large scale. 1t is an
unfair thing to do.
Candidates must make votes rapidly
or pull down. 1t is q mere force for
some OF them to run. SrNBAD.

ERMINIE.
The Story of the Opera that Is to Please
the Audience Tonight.

The Story of the Opera that Is to Plea SO
the Audience Tonight.
The story OF "Ermine," that is to be
played by the Carleton Opera company
tonight, is romantic and affords good
scope for historic and musical effect.
The plot Of the opera is a. follows:
Two thieves, Ravennes and Cadeaux,
escape from prison. On the way they
meet nobleman who is en- route to the
Chateau OF Marquis de POtvert, whose
daughter he is to wed. The young peo-
pie, rs is often the case In France, have
never met. Ravennes, possessed of the
jewels and papers OF the young noble
man, decides to impersonate him. He
goes to the chateau, presents himself,
and introduces himself, and bis friend Is
presented as Baron Bonny Detectives
follow them and they are arrested
just es they endeavOr to rob the
chateau.
The dialogue is witty, the music
sprightly, the dresses magnificent. the
scenery apt, and with the excellent sup
port and chorus. there is no question
that "Erminie" here, as elsewhere, will
be popular and successful.

The Opera House Scare.

Some person tried to pass into the gal
lery last night on fraudulent cheque
and was stopped by the dOor-keeper.
An alteration ensued, when Officer
Jennull ran across to the door-keeper's
assistance. just then some fellow in
the gallery called out light" The cry
was misunderstood for ''ire" and every
one arose In great excitement. Fortu-
nately the house was not well filed, and
some had the presence Of mind to call
out "sit down." This was done, aud all
ended well, but II q stampede had oc-
CURED with full house, the coase-
quence might have been very serious.
The LIGHT would suggest to Mr.Risohe
the need Of good and jud.cious officers
in the gallery, and that such officers be
In uniform. sometimes the uniform Is
more potent than the officer, In preserv-
ing order, for everyone knows who he is
and what he is there for.
